I’ve only been to Dubai on a connecting flight, so this is helpful information if I ever exit one day! Given it’s the middle east, I’d want to try the Arabic food more than anything so would head there first. I live half the year in Italy, so I’d probably avoid eating it in Dubai as I have it all the time 🙂

Dubai reminds me so much of Manila because of the variety of cuisines you can find there. I have yet to visit Dubai and reading your blog makes me want to go there now! It is such a modern and vibrant city.

I would love to visit Dubai one day – for the experience and the delicious food! I can’t resist good Mexican food so El Chico would be first on my list to visit. My kids would love the pizza at F Cafe. It’s nice that there are so many dining options!

This is a very thoughtful and wholesome post for anyone planning a visit to Dubai. I think you have brought out the best of a wide variety of cuisines through this post. I would love to try out those crafted-burgers for a change. The next time I am in Dubai, I know where to eat.

What a fantastic selection of yummy restaurants and which such a variety of options! Glad to see an Italian place on the list, how can you resist good old spaghetti?!:D I’ve yet to visit Dubai, I’m sure it’s an incredible place to visit,’isn’t it?

JBR The Walk Dubai appears to a haven for food lovers. With such an amazing variety ranging from authentic Greek cuisine, Arabian cuisine and Mexican among others, This is proof that Dubai is attracting and will continue to attract travellers from all over the world and giving them unique experiences.

There are so many options for delicious food here. I would need to stay in Dubai for two weeks to try it all. I think the first Mexican restaurant you mentioned and Scoozi for Italian look delicious. Oh and a burger never goes astray. Thanks so much for sharing.

What an amazing post! It seems like you could travel the world taking only a few steps and taste everything. And not only because of the different types of food but because it all looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing =)

Oh my goodness, Starbucks is everywhere! It’s my go-to iced coffee stop here in the US but I had no idea I might find one in Dubai. If I were to visit, I think I would have to give the ice cream shop a try!

These are impressive selections of restaurants, and seems you like dining at places with pizzas and pasta 🙂 Lots of American fast food chains as well, but you haven’t mentioned a Filipino restaurant. Have you tried any FIlipino foods? I guess Dubai have a Filipino restaurant considering there are tons of Filipino workers in the city. Those foods at Chili’s would definite I’ll dig in

Thanks Blair and a good question about Filipino restaurants in Dubai. There are lots many here as you correctly said, many Filipino live here but I have not tried them yet may be due to vegetarian food. Now I will look into once.

O wow..this stretch is like a mini-microcosm of gastronomic flavours from around the world! So much of variety at one place yet different with varied restos and decor. I would love to try those handcrafted burgers for sure. There is something exotic in the way Scoozi serves its dishes and the story of El-Chico is quite inspiring.And, and…those grilled/smoked capsicums of Eat Greek are drool-worthy. Love this comprehensive post of restos!

Such a great selection of restaurants and food! I’ve never been to Dubai but would love to go for sightseeing and trying these yummy dishes. I love Mexican food so El-Chico would be on my list. The Cheesecake factory sounds tasty too. It’s good to know that tipping is not mandatory and there are free Wi-Fi in most of the restaurants.

What a fantastic collection of yummy restaurants. I am travelling to Dubai next month. I am sure your food guide will help me. Also happy to know Dubai houses authentic Indian food restaurant. I am travelling with my parents and they prefer Indian food.

I’m so glad I found this post, I’m currently planning a trip to Dubai so this will be so handy. The ice cream and gelato caught my eye as did the Lebanese and Greek restaurants. I’m sure this place can get busy and is great for people watching if you can get an outdoor table – probably great for an evening.

Bright sunny mornings are my favorite – but I am rarely up early enough to fully enjoy it! I love seeing classic American restaurants represented here, that is so cool! There is so much variety, I bet it is so hard to choose!

Wow what a selection and a foodies paradise I must say. There are so many of them I never imagined. It offers a huge range and something for everyone to enjoy. Personally for me will be the tex mex followed by burgers and then to top it off undoubdtly the gelato. A great place to sip a coffee and watch the world go by as well. It also has one of my favourites Cheesecake Factory Thanks for sharing a great post.

I like how you included a wide range of cuisines, and also options for every budget! I would love to try the waffles, they seem like an interesting choice! This really is a great guide for food in JBR!

Wow. It just looks so incredible to read about some place in Dubai that is not Burj Khalifa or the malls.west beach bistro & sports lounge movenpick’s decor is really nice. Would like to visit this one in perticular,.

You have certainly provided a variety of restaurants for all tastes whilst visiting Dubai. I try and avoid chain restaurants and try out some local specialities while I am away to really experience the local cuisine. I’d love to visit Dubai one day!

Thanks for this mini-Guide to (perhaps even Window shop), dine in the Best Restaurants and stroll by the sea along the chic waterfront strip – The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). I am glad you have included a wide range of cuisines in all budgets.

Oh Ms Yukti, I’ve never been very interested in travelling to Dubai – although I’ve spent many waiting hours at the airport – but your post is definitely inviting. It’s impressive how varied the cuisine is there; however, I’d go for… Arabic!

Haven’t been to Dubai myself, but I will definitely keep these restaurants in mind when I will go there! Operation falafel and WOFL sound very interesting and pictures look exciting. Hope to visit them one day 🙂 Thanks for the article!

JBR Walk is truly a very happening place in Dubai with so many cool restaurant options. El Chico has a lovely story behind it. Also the ambiance and mexican food of the restaurant looks amazing. I would love to dine at this restaurant. Will also be checking out Blaze burgers, Scoozi and Luigia. These restaurants look really unique. It’s awesome to see the variety of cuisines available there. Also the outdoor seatings and WowJBR are wonderful sights in JBR.

I’m always so surprised at the diversity of Dubai’s culinary scene. They seem to be able to perfect everything from burgers, tacos, Arabic food, woofles, the list is never ending! I think that it’s great how diverse Dubai. I would definitely want to give this list to locals and see what their favorites are.

What an interesting list! I have visited some of these restaurants but I also got a few new recommendations for my upcoming visit. I’ll be in Dubai next time and will definitely check out a few of these, starting from the ZAATAR W ZEIT
